BME-Overview

Biomedical Engineering: Opening new frontiers of Medicine and Engineering Fields

A Biomedical Engineer uses traditional engineering expertise to analyze and solve problems in biology and medicine, providing an overall enhancement of health care. Students choose the biomedical engineering field to be of service to people, to partake in the excitement of working with living systems, and to apply advanced technology to complex problems of medical care. The biomedical engineer works with other health care professionals who include physicians, nurses, therapists and technicians
